Nan Forsyth follows Jervis
who rages because hU fiancee.
Rosamund Carew, has Jilted him
at the last moment to cheat him
of his grandfather's large fortune.
Unless he marries In three days
Roaomund will succeed him as
. heir. Nan Is spurred on to help
Jervis by the. unconfessed love
she has felt for him since ns. a.
child sne saved him from drown-'
. ing. She also is tortured because
her sister Cynthia, madly in love.
Is prevented by poverty from
marrying.

"Why?" '
"I am from Mr. Page's office. It's
a business matter."
He paused, detached, not really
aware- of her.
"You are golnpr home. Will you
let me speak to you there?'
He stared for a moment longer.
Then he said. ,
"Oh, certainly."
They went on together. The house
rose up before Nan, heavy and square

lifted- a latchkey.
and they went through the hall Into
a room at the bacK oi me nouac
a man's room, littered with a man's
belongings, littered also with what
wete obviously wedding presents. Two
windows framed in dark velvet our
tains looked out upon a fair-sized
garden bordered with trees.
Nan passed Into this room and felt
Us atmosphere close about her. The
current had brought her here. Now It
ebbed away from her. She was Nan
Forsyth facing something that was
going to declCe all the rest of her
life, and all the rest of Jervis Weare's
life. For a moment she felt fear as
she had never felt it before. And
then courage rose in her like a flood.
He turned from the door and said,
"Do you mind saying what you want?
I'm rather busy."
"Yes," said Nan.
"I'm in Mr. Page's office. When
you came In this afternoon you
slummed the c'oor. It didn't lotch.
I was in the office. I heard what
you said to Mr. Page."
"You listened. Well?"
Hia look hurt her- beyond bearing.
But Jervis Weare did not see her
wince. Ills anger turned a cold edge
upon this confessed eavesdropper.
i "Well?" he repeated.
"I heard what you said to Mr.
Pace." she told him again.
Jcrvlo walked to the table and
i stood there. He must have been re
culling his own words, for he was
looking at her, really looking, for the
i first time.
I He saw a girl In a neat grey dress
and a close black hat, a girl who held
herself very straight and looked at
him with steady grey eyes. er iace
was pale, her lips pressed firmly to
gether. She held her head high.
"You said that you must be mar
ried by the lGth," she wont on. "You
asked him to find a girl who would
marry you at 24 hours notice."
So. that s it? You ve got a nerve,
haven't you?"
Nan said, "Yes," quite soberly.
He burst out laughing.
"Well, why not? I haven't time to
pick and choose. Since you over
heard what we were saying you know
that. So If you're really offering to
step into the nreacn per imps you u
begin by giving me your name
"Nan Forsyth," said Nan.
He took his hand off the table and
swung a chair round.
"You'd better sit down."
He came round, took the wrltlng-
chnir. picked up a pen and filled it,
"Did you say Anne rorsytnr
Nan came forward. Her legs felt
as if they belonged to someone else.
She sat down a little Btiffly. She was
being Interviewed for the situation
of Jervis Weare's wife. It was like
something in a dream. But there
was Jervis, looking at her and re
peating.
"Anne Forsyth?"
"No just Nan. I was christened
Nan."
He wrote "Nan Forsyth," and with
out looking up asked her age,
"Twenty -two."
"Parents?"
"Dead."
Any near relations?"
A sister.' She thought suddenly
and warmly of Cynthia, and the
dream shook h little.
"Older or younger?" ,
"Younger " She paused, then
added, "Nineteen." , .
Jervis had stopped writing. His
pen dug holes In the paper. He didn't
really want to know the answers to
any of these questions. She had a
well-bred voice. If Bhe was in f ago s ,
office, she was likely to be a re
spectable girl. ... I
Why are you doing this? For
money?"
There was only a moments hesi
tation before she said.
"Yes. I'm earning my living. I m
doing It because I have to."
Yes?" said Jervis.
If I do this, I shall lose my job.
and I've got someone depending on
me."
She felt better when she had said
that. But Jervis was staring at her.
"Depending?"
'Yes my sister. X couldn't Just
tuko this on and leave her."
He threw himself back In his chair.
"Well, how much?"
"Ten thousand dollars," sold Nan
and set her teeth.
Jtrvis Wears regarded her with
frank admiration.
"You certainly havo a nerve!" he
said.
'It's because of Cynthia. I can al
ways get a Job."
And she can t?
Nun shook her head. She looked
young, mouruful and serious. The
contrast between her appearance and
what Jervis Weare had just described
as her nerve was so extreme as to
bo ludicrous.
Jervis pushed back his chair and
got up.
"So you propose to turn ten thou
sand dollars over to Cynthia? And
how much do you want for yourself?"
"I don't want anything I can get
a Job."
"And why should I give Cynthia
ten thousand dollars?"
Nan looked up at him with a per
fectly steady gaze.
"You won't give It to Cynthia
you'll give It to me Mr. Weare left
you a million dollars. The ten thou
sand dollars will be my commission."
Jervis Weare walked across the
room and back again.
"All right." he said, "you can have
your commission.'

AVhat can you lada suggest?
"Of course wo have no key to

nnd then we'll use the onp that's

'I know." cried Duncy. "We
will kick tho sides right In. That
will be slick " This marto thn
other Tlnlps frown, and Windy
Fald. "Gee whiz!
"That would be dumb as dumb

" "You're so smart. You go
and get tho thing apart. I'm anx

wasting time galore.
"My thoughts are always met
with scorn. It's been that way
since I wus horu. Why should I
lire my brain? I will not do It any
more."
Then Coppy mid, "I have a
iilan." And to the knowledge bug
he ran, andjshoutcd, "Tell us, how

The bug replied. "Well, hcre'n
a trick. Why don't you use a

"yilEY shortly found a real strong
limb and Duncy cried. "I feel

Hi'outy, with a smile. "Tho plun

The limb was forced In place
nnd then wee Duncy pulled and
pulled again. The oilier Tillies
watched him. "It Is moving,"
Coppy cried.
"Hurray for me! I knew It
